About

Marlborough is a market town set on the old A4 coaching route in Wiltshire, with a central High Street reputedly one of the widest in England. The street carries the market tradition: stalls on Wednesdays and Saturdays, independent shops, and long-established inns. Marlborough College occupies a cluster of 19th-century buildings near the town centre and contributes to a regular flow of events and concerts. Transport links follow the valley floor and lanes that run up onto the surrounding downs.

The town sits at the edge of chalk downland known as the Marlborough Downs, with footpaths and bridleways that link to local ridgeways and farmland. To the east lies Savernake Forest, a patchwork of rides and veteran oaks under private management but open for walkers. Agriculture and equestrian use shape the landscape immediately around the town, with flint walls, pasture and arable fields visible from lanes that climb from the valley. The pattern of field boundaries and long-distance tracks gives a clear sense of the area's rural economy and history.
